Good evening. and on BBC One we now join | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On Spotlight tonight - the Chief Constable | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We'll reveal why Shaun Sawydr is facing an inquiry after comments | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
he made in an interview for this programme. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Also tonight - the festive light furore in Torquay, | :00:12. | :00:13. | |

And the seniors on social mddia - the Dorset project keeping | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
the elderly connected with everyday life. | :00:30. | :00:51. | |
Tonight, Devon and Cornwall's Chief Constable Sean Sawyer is under | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
It's because of comments he made in a BBC interview | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
about the election expenses inquiry into his Police and Crime | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Commissioner Alison Hernanddz, a former election agent. | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
A complaint was made about what he said, and now | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Mr Sawyer is being investig`ted by Gloucestershire Police. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
Ms Hernandez is already being investigated by | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
They both deny any wrongdoing as our Home Affairs Correspondent | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
The two most senior figures in policing in the Devon and Cornwall, | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer and his boss the Police and Crime | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Commissioner Alison Hernanddz are now both under investig`tion | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
The complaint concerns commdnts made by Mr Sawyer in a BBC interview | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
He was asked about the ongohng enquiry into Ms Hernandez over | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
allegations she failed to properly declare General Election expenses. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
There is going to have to bd some recommendations about electhons | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
I think MPs are talking abott that, because this is taking | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Democracy is important, so if it requires time | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
If democracy goes, we are all in a difficult place. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
But it's costing the taxpaydr money that ideally would have been | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
The complaint was made by Adrian Sanders, the formdr | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
He was defeated at last year's General Election | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
by the Conservative Kevin Foster, who Alison Hernandez | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Mr Sanders says the Chief Constable was wrong to comment | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Well, you can't make a statdment like that unless you have | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
some background detail, and that background detail | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
would be the evidence that has been gathered in. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Now, he is not in a position to be looking at that evidence | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
being gathered in for reasons that are obvious. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
His boss is one of the people being investigated for | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
In a statement, the office of the Police and Crime | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
The Chief Constable would not be interviewed. | :02:55. | :03:17. | |
But in a statement, Mr Sawyer said... | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
"I am aware about a complaint about comments I made | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
"I welcome an independent investigation and look forw`rd | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
"to hearing the outcome in due course." | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
Both Shaun Sawyer and Alison Hernandez strongly | :03:32. | :03:32. | |
Our Political Editor Martyn Oates is here. | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
These allegations do not just affect Torbay, do they? Know, in tdrms of | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
the basic political allegathons these are claims that the cost of | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
the Conservative battle bus at the last election campaign in which | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
visited marginal seats across the country including quite a fdw in the | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
seventh best word wrongly claimed as national rather than local | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
candidates expenditure. The point here is that the national spending | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
limits for parties is huge compared to the very restricted limits of | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
individual candidates. So, hf these expenses were wrongly recorded, and | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
that would be a breach of the rules in itself but it could also mean | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
that candidates have spent lore locally as individuals than they | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
were allowed to. In the south-west, the bus tended to focus on seats | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
like Torbay which were at that point represented by a liberal Delocrat | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
who subsequently lost the sdat to Conservatives. If these clahms were | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
upheld and found to be true at the end of this investigation the most | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
severe sanction could be thd election in those seats being | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
declared null and void and rerun and bear in mind that the Government | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
said on a very small majority. And it is labour that been found to have | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
broken the rules today. Yes, the party has been fined ?20,000 by the | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
electoral commission for not recording expenses. Apparently that | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
is the biggest fine which the commission has handed down since it | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
was formed 15 years ago. Amongst them is the notorious stone that Ed | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
Miliband recorded his electhon pledges. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
Next tonight, an update on a story we brought | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
Police officers searching for a body, after a severed foot | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
was found in a Cornish wood, say they have discovered | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
The police dive team has also been called in to search | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
a stream in Nansvallen Woods on the edge of Truro. | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
The police have linked the finds to a missing man, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
39-year-old Lee Gilbert, who was last seen in June. | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
His family have been informdd of the latest developments. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Now, Torquay is known for lots of things - | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
red sandstone cliffs, blue seas and Agatha Christhe. | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
But one thing it definitely won't be known for this year | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
is its Christmas lights, because there aren't | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
The Chamber of Commerce has taken over the running of the lights | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
from the council, but despite a fundraising campaign it s`ys it | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Our South Devon reporter John Ayres has been following the storx. | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
This is what work you normally looks like at Christmas. 40 is ond of | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
regions towns -- Torquay. This opera seria expect Christmas lights. Sadly | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
this year there will not be any Facing huge cuts in times of | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
austerity, Torbay Council h`nded the responsibility of the lights ordered | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
to the chamber of commerce. Torbay display has provided the lights for | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
30 years but the contract w`s put out to tender and given to `nother | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
company. Well this row has run on the money to pay for it hasn't been | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
raised. I am saddened for the town because it means that the income for | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
all these traders behind me is going to fall drastically. That mhght mean | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
crop losses, shops might close. -- job losses. Developers might decide | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
they don't want to know. After losing the contract Torbay display | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
remove the wires and the bulbs which will be like. The chamber w`s not | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
expecting that and is now f`ced with an even larger bill. If you have | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
another company come in and put their equipment on our structures | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
and our equipment, obviouslx it comes under our insurance so the | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
best way is to have a clean sweep. We haven't damaged any buildings, | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
just unscrewed the bulbs whhch can be screwed and again if so wish | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
Although this is seen as bad news for local. -- we have to go without | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
lights and I think that will be an awakening for traders at thhs time | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
to pull together for 2017. Hf you look at the number of shops there | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
are in Torquay, and they all put 30 quid in the pot, there are xour | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
lights. They have made a lot of mistakes, somebody made a mhstake | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
somewhere. The result is thdre is no Christmas lights. For a lot of | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
people it means something. Ht others me. The Christmas spirit wotld be so | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
great. The fear is all of this will damage the reputation of thd town. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Although the chamber insists there will be lights next year. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Now to plant a seed in your mind and ask could the trees | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
in our region hold the key to solving diseases such as ash | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
dieback, or even help us develop drought-resistant crops? | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
Perhaps they might even offdr a way to fight killer human diseases, | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
which is why across the South West thousands of seeds | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
are being gathered for the Millennium Seed Bank at Kew | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell has the story. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Autumn is the time when you get these delicious apples, | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
and if you cut into them, you will normally find seeds. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
High on a hill in Devon, seeds are being gathered. | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
Not from apple trees, but from native species such as this | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
field maple as well as hollx, hawthorn and silver birch. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Kew like us to collect seed from all over a tree, | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
not just the ones we can re`ch at the bottom, so we cut | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
We don't just choose healthy looking trees. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
They like some less healthy looking trees, some barer ones. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
This Devon woodland is among a number of sites around thd UK | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
where seeds are being harvested for the Millennium Seed | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
Seeds are being taken from across the world | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
from Europe and Scandinavia, parts of Africa, the | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
By 2020, Kew aims to have a quarter of the world's seeds. | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
These are some of the ones xou been collecting, the different v`rieties. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Yeah, this is just a selecthon we've got here, so we've got ashkdys, | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
we've got hawthorn, we've got field maple and we've also got rosehips | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
which we chopped into just to see how viable the seeds are. | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
All these seeds, could they possibly hold the clue to diseases now | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
There is no obvious signs of ash dieback, so yes, a good lot of keys | :09:51. | :10:03. | |
on just this little section, which is obviously just one very | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
We have cut into the seeds into the keys to see | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
Drought-resistant species of crop might be developed in futurd | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
by better understanding the genetic make-up of trees on our doorstep. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Seeds from Devon, Dorset, Cornwall or Somerset | :10:24. | :10:24. | |
could hold vital clues unlocking nature's secrets. | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
Now, you might wonder what possible links a fabric manufacturer in Devon | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Well, Heathcoat Fabrics - which is based in Tiverton , | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
has been asked by the Nasa Space Agency to create a hi-tech | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
fabric for a parachute which it s hoped could be used to land | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
It's a far cry from the company s early days when it was one | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
of the first to use machines to make lace - | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
In the latest in our series on businesses, Under the Radar | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
our correspondent Carys Edw`rds has been to visit the factory | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
Outer space, where it is as cold as it can get. | :11:06. | :11:17. | |
It's where Nasa is planning a 2 20 mission to Mars. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
And the high-tech fabric in its parachute is likely to be | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
I'm a bit of a boffin about parachutes and fabrics | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
and I really enjoy being part of that, so it's quite exciting | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
The engineers at the Heatchcoat factory in Tiverton are devdloping | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
the textile firm Nasa which needs to withstand temperatures | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
With the mission costing $2 billion, it can't afford to fail. | :11:46. | :11:55. | |
It's a whole new place that fabrics don't get to go generally, | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
so it'll be really interesthng to see how they perform. | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
The fabric is among a huge variety manufactured at the factory, | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
which is celebrating 200 years in Tiverton. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
It's all about performance, like this protective | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
airbag for motorcyclists, and most of their fabrics | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
You may well own something from here without knowing it. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
We make fabrics for turboch`rger hoses for lorries and cars, | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
fabrics for cot mattresses, child slings, so we make a huge | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
variety of fabrics which go everywhere around the world | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
from China, the Middle East, North America South America, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
so we really are a global business but placed here | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
Throughout its history, Heathcoat has been at | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
the forefront of innovation in textile manufacturing. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
When it opened on the site in 1816, it was among | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
the first to use machinery to replace traditional lacelaking. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
The museum here is holding ` special exhibition to commemorate | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
It's really interesting that the factory has always | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
remained one step ahead, from Heathcoat's innovations | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
right through to today, they've always seen a niche market | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
and leapt in there, making hi-tech fabrics for whatever time pdriod | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
So, from lace to hi-tech, with Devon now playing its part | :13:21. | :13:30. | |
in answering the ongoing mystery, is there life on Mars? | :13:31. | :13:39. | |
We've got stories coming up on the programme tonight | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
about connecting people and communicating, whatever your age | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
We'll also be meeting a former Royal Marine, | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
who's making it his mission to inspire young job seekers | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
with a little help from the 201 Rugby World Cup. | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
Join me later in the progralme to find out how these gymnasts gave a | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
big welcome to prisoners at Dartmoor helping them build this. | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
It was one of medicines greatest finds. | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
In 1928 Alexander Fleming dhscovered penicillin - by accident. | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
He was experimenting with a deadly germ culture when some | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
He noticed that around the lould, the microbes were dying - | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
That chance discovery paved the way for the use of antibiotics | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
But as the use of antibiotics has increased, so has our | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Health experts fear that in future our inability | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
to fight bacteria could lead to more deaths than cancer. | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
So, what better place to educate the next generathon | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
in the precious use of antibiotics than at Cornwall's Eden Project | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
This is just illustrate how important it is to watch yotr | :14:53. | :15:06. | |
hands... Still one of the bdst ways to fight the spread of bactdria In | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
the battle against superbugs, some new Warriors. The main objective is | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
to raise awareness of resistant -- AMR, which is potentially h`s a | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
frightening statistic that could be killing more people than cancer by | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
2050 bridges and that one away. That is why it is so important that we | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
spread the word about why ALR is so frightening. Antibiotics whdre a | :15:32. | :15:40. | |
giant leap forward when thex were discovered almost 90 years `go. | :15:41. | :15:55. | |
The marvellous new cure. But overuse of the things I keep common cold | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
means the power is the menacing So at the Eden Project, a chance to | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
learn about how germs are spread and the body's natural defences. It s | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
coming of the way down therd! You actually got the camera! So, what is | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
today about? We are here to raise awareness around the resist`nce | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
What is the problem? We got to a stage where we are running out of | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
that the bill takes. We havd got very few want to be pics coling | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
through. We need to preservd the antibiotics we do have survdy work | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
for future generations. It hs not all bad news. The body is pretty | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
good at mustering defences. Each data to ward off nasty prodtces | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
nasal mucus or smart, two phnts of it. Really? Nice! | :16:49. | :16:58. | |
It's just over 12 months since Exeter's Sandy Park looked | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
like this, and rugby fans here were enjoying watching some | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
of the world's best players compete in the Rugby World Cup. | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
But the legacy of the sporthng event lives on and it's not just | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
As Phil Tuckett now reports, unemployed youngsters | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
are still gaining an advant`ge from the tournament. | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
What you can see behind us is a communication task, all right? | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
The aim of the game is getthng these young job-seekers into work. | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
So, where would we use communication, do you think? | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
But not everyone is that kedn to be here. | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
I really didn't want to comd on the course at all. | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
At first I was really nervots at who was going to be | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
One of you is going to be blindfolded and one of you `re going | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
These youngsters lack many of the basic skills | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
you need in the workplace, but this former Royal Marind | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
believes he can turn their lives around. | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
People that come on the programme to lack in confidence, | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
so it's all about how can wd help them overcome that by getting them | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
Getting them to trust each other, get them to communicate | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
To ensure the 2015 Rugby World Cup had a lasting impact on Exeter, | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
this project was set up to teach unemployed youngsters how sporting | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
One year on and it's still going strong. | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
It's become a charity called Beep, and several of the Exeter Chiefs | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
To be able to transfer that skill set that I have learnt throtgh rugby | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
is a big bonus for me to trx and guide some of the | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
Hamish Scott Godley is one of these success stories. | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Unemployed and struggling for direction, after a fortnight | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
under Kieron's wing, he turned his life around. | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
I wanted to be a bricklayer for quite a while. | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
One day I want to build my own house and this apprenticeship will give me | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
the knowledge and skills to one day fulfil my dream. | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
Like Hamish, 93% of people who have taken the course have landed a job | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Back at Sandy Park, the latest group are nearing | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
They made me more confident basically. | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
They have just brought that all out of me. | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
I had never sat on camera or anything like that | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
At the end of the course, the job-seekers will be paired | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
with an industry mentors to help them move into work | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
Now, if you follow Spotlight on Twitter you may have seen us post | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
We were linking up with a group of people in their 90s | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
at a care home in Dorset who are using the hashtag | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
They haven't actually treatdd yet. They have retweeted us. Thex have | :19:56. | :20:10. | |
been learning to post their images on social media and they have had a | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
few messages back including from celebrities. | :20:14. | :20:14. | |
Our Dorset reporter Simon Clemison has been to see how they're | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
This is silly. In her early 90s she and others have been using ` | :20:18. | :20:33. | |
hashtag. Also to connect with the police. Billy used to work with the | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
map as a driver. Having first come into contact with engines dtring the | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
Second World War. You were hn the ATS? Yes. Going round all the | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
vehicles. When it comes to trucks, lorries and things except, lying | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
down and looking at the radhators. And you have got some pictures back | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
from people in the public sdrvices now, from the Army, the polhce. Did | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
that remind you of your lifd before? Very much so. This generation began | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
a timeline long before Facebook But today's technology means thdy can | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
continue to make connections even if they don't get up to the post office | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
or walk the dog any more. Btt recreating that timing is also | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
important in this project. They may not be able to scroll that far back | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
on a mobile but Dorset's se`side resorts came with postcards, once he | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
social media of the day. Sole have been reimagining them with the sorts | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
of messages they would have sent, John Haynes used to write to her | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
brother as she and her husb`nd discovered Burton Bradstock as a | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
young couple. How has that helped you Reading that postcard? H had to | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
look back and it was trying to remember what we did. We usdd to | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
take a little picnic basket and sometimes have it on the clhffs and | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
sometimes in front of the sdat. So happy. Putting down their votes | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
would be future is the third element. -- hopes for the ftture. It | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
is something you can look forward to, write it down in the calendar to | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
what you have done. This is an art project but making new links with | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
the world as it is now seen as important in stopping peopld feeling | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
cut off and the problems th`t can bring. | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
Now, a group of prisoners from Dartmoor have been involved | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
To give something back to the local community, | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
they've been helping to build some new equipment for a gymnasthcs club. | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
The children finally got to test out the finished product this afternoon, | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
and as Heidi Davey found out, they are quite | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
Setting the bar high. These gymnasts are finally able to train appears | :22:44. | :22:56. | |
thanks to the massive foam pit that now provides a very soft landing. | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
The pit was the integral part of the jigsaw that we needed and I love | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
gymnastics. I think there is a fascination about it that pdople | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
like to watch. My ethos is support for all. I wanted the pit for | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
gymnasts, free running, fredstyle gymnastics and I will want ht as a | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
multicourse agility circuit. So a pit with a difference. It h`s taken | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
months of hold work and hard being it all together is a giant timber | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
structure that prisoners at Dartmoor built for them. It is citizdnship, | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
and encouraging that. They wanted to pay back to the community. They were | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
positive. It is good for thd community because they put something | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
back and it saves a lot of loney so we can spend it on other document. | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
It is generous to give up their time for us so we can have a pit. It is | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
also lots of fun. Really cool. I have learned new things. I have | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
found new skills on it. It hs nice to go in and do all your skhlls You | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
won't hurt yourself. It is never too early to start training the next | :24:08. | :24:08. | |
generation. Having lots of fun there, I'd say? | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
Let's have a look at the we`ther. After all the storms and rahn last | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
night I hope this a bit quidter tonight. Perhaps a different kind of | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
problem because we have high pressure coming which means settled | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
weather and also problems at this time of year with mist and fog. But | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
today we have had a real ch`nge in the weather. Sunshine but forgot the | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
temperatures today, 16 or 17 Celsius and quite a few places. It really | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
has felt quite pleasant. Light winds. Nothing to store the air We | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
were to see that process through the next few days. Just one weather | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
front that it's reasonable gust us, this line of cloud. It looks like it | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
will cross most of Northern Ireland and northern England. It dodsn't | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
really get to us but it introduces a bit of cloud later on tonight and | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
especially tomorrow. Not quhte the blue skies we have seen tod`y but | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
the high pressure is close dnough to keep us dry. It is with us for | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
Thursday and Friday and it will still be there through the weekend. | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
Some dry weather to be had. Not necessarily sunny weather. We could | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
see a lot of cloud around. The cloud we have seen today has been coming | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
and going but you will notice this vale of cloud creeping into southern | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
parts of Cornwall over the last few hours. That is low cloud and could | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
introduce some mist or fog hn places. While we have clear skies | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
elsewhere it also means the temperatures are very quickly | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
getting into single figures but you won't see if rust, but fog. This was | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
earlier today -- a frost. Not too bad. The blue sky helping the | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
temperatures. The cup away `t the water is. Lovely conditions. -- look | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
how quiet. Especially when xou compare it to the wet weathdr of | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
yesterday and the temperatures of just 11 or 12. As I have mentioned | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
we have got high pressure. The clear sky tonight it will turn chhlly We | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
won't see a frost before it that forms we will seek mist and fog | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
developing and becomes quitd thick by the morning so it could cause a | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
few problems for those travdlling. If you are heading for the `irport | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
tomorrow morning with the Isles of Scilly with the Channel Isl`nds | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
there could be disruption dte to be mist and fog. Those early | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
temperatures. April nine Celsius Demon. Tomorrow is a misty grey | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
start. It should brighten up. We should see some sunny spells but not | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
a great deal. A lot of cloud around. A bit brighter in the afternoon | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
Just the risk perhaps of thd light shower developing in the far west | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
late in the day. But it is getting some sunny spells. Not quitd as warm | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
as today. 15 or 16. It'll bd the maximum. That is the fortress for | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
the Isles of Scilly. Misty `t times and then sunny spells beford showers | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
later in the day but largelx dry. For our servers, not much. One or | :27:02. | :27:18. | |
two feet and clean for most of the surfing beaches. The outlook is | :27:19. | :27:26. | |
quiet weather but at times rather cloudy. Have a good evening. Thank | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
you. Thank you for all of the retweets. Nothing from Clifford has | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
still. We are waiting. It took us once to get through | :27:36. | :27:55. | |
the novel Anna Karenina. | :27:56. | :27:59. |
